ICQ program: chii ichocho uye chii chaicho

Munharaunda iri kure kare muna 1998, hapana munhu aigona kufunga kuti brainchild yekambani inezivikanwa yeIsrael Mirabilis ichaita shanduko chaiye munyika yose yekukurukurirana kwemagetsi. Kana iwe usina kumbofungidzira, zvino tiri kutaura pamusoro peCI program. Chii ichocho, saka hakuna munhu akanzwa, uye zvishoma zvaizivikanwa pamusoro pezvingaita. Uye nhasi zvakaoma kuwana kombiyuta kana smartphone, iyo muridzi wayo asina kuisa iyi software yakanaka.

Anenge pakarepo mushure mekuzivisa kwehurongwa hutsva hweva server, makambani e Mirabilis "akadonha" kazhinji pazuva, sezvo nhamba yevanhu vaida kuiisa pamakombiyuta yavo pakarepo yakanga yakakura. Sekuve muna 2005, vashandisi vehurukuro yepamutemo yeI ICQ chete vakaverenga vanhu vanosvika mamiriyoni 250 pasi pose, uye izvi hazvina kufungisisa dzakawanda software clones! Uye izvi zvose zvinofadza zvakapoteredza kambani uye ine mwero. Chii icho uye nei nyika yose ichiita sokuti inopenga?

Zvinotanga kutanga nechokuti pfungwa chaiye ye "mutumwa" mutsva yaiva nyore kune nyanzvi. Vakasika vakanyora kushandiswa kwepakutanga, nekumiswa kweiyo umwe muga wega akagoverwa UIN yakasiyana (serial number) uye nekutinhira (kana zvichidikanwa).

Mushure mokunge muchifamba nenzira yekunyora kunyoresa, munogona kutsvaga shamwari dzenyu, hama uye vashandi pamwe navo, kunyange dai vakagara kune rumwe rutivi rwePasi. Cherechedza kuti kwakanga kusina webhusaiti yepamunharaunda panguva iyoyo, uye saka vose vaifanira kurarama neCIQ. Ndezvipi izvi kune vashandisi vezviitiko izvi hazvina kuparadzwa nehuwandu hweInternet-speed?

Haisi kunyanyisa kutaura kuti purogiramu yacho yakabva yangova yakaoma yemwaka chaiyo nokuti yakabvumira kuwana munhu akakodzera uye pakarepo inosangana naye. Zvechokwadi, mumazuva iwayo e-mail yakanga yapararira, asi kwakanga kusina kutsvaga kero dzevanhu, uye kazhinji vashandisi vakanyoreswa vakangokanganwa nezvemabhokisi avo, kuvatarisa kamwechete pavhiki, uye kunyange zvishoma. Kana iwe ukashandisa ICQ (chii ichocho, isu tatozvitaura), ipapo shoko rako rakauya kune munhu panguva chaiyo paakaenda paIndaneti. Fantastic!

Mumakore akatevera, vashandi vakashanda nesimba kuti vavandudze zvisikwa zvavo. Pano isu tinofanira kufambisa, tichitaura kuti ikozvino muna 1998, America-Online Corporation haina kunyatsoona zvingaita zve Mirabilis, zvisingazivikanwi panguva iyoyo, zvayitenga "ne giblets." Izvo zvinokwanisa zvekambani huru yakabvumirwa kuramba ichivandudza software, kuitira kuti nokukurumidza kwaive kune kakadaro purogiramu yakadai seI ICQ pafoni.

Zvinosuruvarisa, kukura kwakadaro kwakakurumidza kuva ne "mitsipa yerima". Kuedza "kuvhiringidza" zvichida mari kubva kuvashandi veC ICQ, AOL yakatanga kuvhara mu code yayo mamwe mazana ezvikwata zvezvikwata. Paiva nemikana yekutambisa mavhidhiyo, makamuri ehurukuro, nemitambo iyo panguva iyoyo yakanga isingagoni kushanda zvakanaka nekuda kwekushayikwa kwekugadzikana kwepamusoro kuneIndaneti. Kubuda kwevashandisi kumakwikwi ekukwikwidza kwakatanga (uye kwaive kune kakapfuura gumi nemaviri vavo).

Vachiona izvi, vavaki ve "ICQ" vanokurumidza kumuita "liposuction", vachibvisa zvakawanda zvisingabatsiri uye vachideredza zvikuru ukuru hwekuiswa kwepaki. Zvechokwadi, pamusoro pemakore mazana maviri kilobytes ekutanga shanduro inogona kungorangarirwa nekutaura, asi kunyange ICQ ye Android nhasi inogamuchirwa muhukuru hwe 7 MB.
